  • Works in 3 steps: Preparation (Performed directly by… → Team Assembly and Execution → Integration and Final Deliverables

What it does

Grant Writer is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. A grant/funding application full pipeline. An agent team collaborates to generate announcement analysis, business plan, budget, compliance verification, and submission checklist. Use this skill for requests like 'grant application', 'funding program business plan', 'government funding', 'grant proposal', 'write a business plan', 'budget preparation', 'funding program preparation', 'R&D project application', 'startup support program', 'small business support', and other grant/funding application needs. Also…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Startup and business strategy and Grant writing. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Requests like grant application
  • Funding program business plan
  • Government funding
  • Write a business plan

Example prompts

  • “grant application”
  • “funding program business plan”
  • “government funding”
  • “/grant-writer”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Preparation (Performed directly by orchestrator)
  2. Team Assembly and Execution
  3. Integration and Final Deliverables

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Grant Writer loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 184 tokens; SKILL.md has 452 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~184
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Workflow

Phase 1: Preparation (Performed directly by orchestrator)
  1. Extract from user input:
    • Announcement Information: Announcement document, program name, administering agency (file or URL)
    • Applicant Information: Company/institution name, industry, size, core technology/product
    • Business Idea: Overview of the proposed project
    • Existing Materials (optional): Existing business plans, financial statements, resumes, etc.
  2. Create _workspace/ directory at the project root
  3. Organize the input and save to _workspace/00_input.md
  4. If existing files are provided, copy them to _workspace/ and skip the corresponding Phase
Phase 2: Team Assembly and Execution
OrderTaskAssigned ToDependenciesDeliverable
1Announcement Analysisannouncement-analystNone_workspace/01_announcement_analysis.md
2aBusiness Plan Writingplan-writerTask 1_workspace/02_business_plan.md

3Compliance Verificationcompliance-checkerTasks 1, 2a, 2b_workspace/04_compliance_report.md
4Submission Verificationsubmission-verifierTasks 1-3_workspace/05_submission_checklist.md

Inter-team Communication Flow:

  • announcement-analyst completes → delivers evaluation criteria, keywords, strategy to plan-writer; delivers budget regulations to budget-designer
  • plan-writer completes → delivers implementation plan and resource needs to budget-designer
  • compliance-checker cross-validates business plan + budget. If 🔴 Disqualification Risk found, sends revision request (up to 2 times)
  • submission-verifier performs final completeness verification of all documents
Show full SKILL.md (187 more words)Show less
Phase 3: Integration and Final Deliverables
  1. Verify all files in _workspace/
  2. Confirm that all 🔴 items from compliance report are resolved
  3. Report the final summary to the user
